If someone out there could give me a clue of where to look for the following 
problem I would greatly appreciate the info:

I have a USR 14400 modem that I have connected to a DIGIboard (old 8 port 
board).  I have added the approprite sio drivers and the system seems to 
recognize the board and the modem (the dtr light goes on after boot up of the 
system).  I have added the approprite entry in the ttys file but my problem
seems to be when the modem trys to sync with the calling modem.  I head the 
modem call begin and the modem connected to the freebsd box simply drops dtr 
and resets to looking for a call.  I have had the system running before (a 
while back) but this problem just popped up.  Are there any ideas out there? 
Please respond to williams@gki.

Thanks in advance
